(10/20/07) woman in the treetops; the sick cat cart

(Entered in paper journal at 4:08 PM at Starbucks on Houston Street and Hudson Street in Manhattan.)

Dream #1

I ran through a courtyard like in a stone castle at night. I flew up at some point to move as I needed to go. I flew up into trees. I was amazed that I was flying, but I told myself to remain calm so I would keep flying.

At some point a woman in the treetops reached out at me. I turned as I flew to see who she was. She snuck back into the trees, giggling.

Dream #2

It was daytime. I may have been sitting in a grocery cart. I didn't see too much around me. My mom pushed the cart down a street, possibly down the middle of the street, going down a hill. My mom's best friend T walked beside my mom, possibly to her left.

In the cart with me was a cat. The cat may have lain under a white sheet. My mom and T spoke with each other about the cat, either about how the cat was dead or about how sick it was. I thought, They aren't taking good enough care of it!

I saw the cat. It had orange fur that was pale, as if even the fur were sick. The cat lay as if dead. Then it was standing, walking around limpingly, as if it were very sick. I thought, If my mom and T can get this cat somewhere soon enough, they can save it.

The cat looked at me. It had round eyes that were a milky grey throughout, with no pupils (like cataracts?). The cat then lay again as if dead.
